Ratings for all European countries are at risk, warned Moody's on November 28. The warning comes at a time when Italy is under heavy pressure from the markets and proposals for solving the crisis are proliferating. But it may already be too late, worries the European press. 
A family with strict parents, black sheep and tough love: that’s today’s Europe, says an editor at Die Zeit, who sends out a call to defend the historically unprecedented culture of solidarity. 
The measure demanded by most European partners and supported by the European Commission still meets with stiff opposition from Germany. But Berlin cannot indefinitely block the launch of Eurobonds, which increasingly appear to be the only solution to the debt crisis. 
Political changes in Greece, Italy and Spain have highlighted how European leaders have upset the balance of power between society and the state and politics and the economy. French philospher Etienne Balibar points out that these developments have overlooked the role of citizens. 
Gathered around Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy, a small group of unelected EU officials have been assigned the task of governing the eurozone and removing leaders who fail to toe the line, writes the British conservative weekly The Spectator. 
The arrival of technocratic governments in Greece and Italy may well calm jittery markets, but could also help boost populist political parties who point to the democratic deficit at the heart of the EU, argues Gideon Rachman. 
Efforts to save the euro cannot run against the will of the voters indefinitely, writes Charlemagne of the Economist. 
A Swedish journalist of Palestinian origin embarks on a tour of Europe to take an inventory of the use of Arabic across the continent with surprising results. 
France and Germany have been largely responsible for thwarting Greek PM George Panpandreou’s decision to hold a referendum on its EU/IMF bailout. A naked display of power that bodes ill for a union of equals. 
The agreement reached by the seventeen states of the eurozone is leaving out one crucial issue: growth. Two problems therefore remain unresolved: the lack of a common macroeconomic policy and the divisions between the member countries. 
At the European Council of 23 October, Germany and France passed out some good marks and some bad marks to partners in trouble in the eurozone – to Italy, notably. While the criticism of the inertia of the Berlusconi government is justified, the current crisis is equally down to the sluggish reactions that Berlin and Paris have shown ever since the beginning, writes the Corriere della Sera. 
The European press is unanimous: at the 23 October summit, it was the German Chancellor who dictated her conditions to partner countries — including France — on what should be done to save the euro and Europe’s over-indebted countries from the crisis. 
The 23 October Eurozone summit may be followed by a second meeting on the 26th, requested by France and Germany. Le Figaro argues that this development in the manner in which the crisis is being addressed is proof that in spite of disagreements, the Berlin-Paris axis and the intergovernmental method have prevailed over the idea of a federal Europe.
A few days ahead of the EU summit that should be “decisive” for the eurozone, rating agencies have degraded or threatened to degrade the sovereign rating of Spain and France and the Italian banks. A final assault while Brussels is trying to get its act together? asks the European press. 
Exactly 50 years ago today, between 100 and 200 Algerians, who were taking part in a peaceful demonstration, were murdered by Paris police. After decades of official cover-up, the collective memory of the events of 17 October 1961 is finally being restored. 
The crisis is forcing more and more Europeans to emigrate. For young people in Mediterranean countries, as well as for those in Eastern Europe, it's the north of the continent where salvation lies. 
Weakened by its toxic financial arrangements, the Franco-Belgian bank is on the brink. For some, this could usher in a series of bank failures throughout Europe. For others, it is above all the credibility of member states that is at stake. 
On 31 March, the Indian Ocean island of Mayotte became the 101st department of France. For most of the local population, which is 90% Muslim, there is no conflict of interest between their religion and the principle of secularity much cherished by the French state. Le Monde reports.
